1. An instrument question about the calculation of differential pressure flowmeter. The flow rate is proportional to the square root of the pressure in the differential pressure sensor, rather than simply proportional! Essence: Q/Qmax=√ Δ P/√ Δ Pmax=√ I/√ Imax (note the root) From the above equation, Δ P/Δ Pmax=I/Imax, where Q is the flow attendant quantity Qmax is the maximum range value, where 200T/H Δ P is the differential pressure Δ Pmax is the maximum differential pressure range of 25Kpa and Imax is 16mA. After calculating I, 4mA must be added to calculate 80T/H. When the differential pressure is 4Kpa and the current is 6.56mA and 100T/H, the differential pressure is 6.25Kpa and the current is 8mA. Detailed explanation as follows:

1. Flow meter measurement method Flow meter is a device specifically used to measure fluid flow rate, and its principle is based on the dynamic characteristics of the fluid. Connect the inlet and outlet of the water flow to a flow meter, which can directly display the flow rate value of the effluent. This method has high accuracy and is widely used in industrial, agricultural, and scientific research fields. Volume method is an indirect method for measuring water flow rate. It calculates the flow rate by collecting the outflow of water over a period of time and measuring the volume of the collected water. This method is suitable for small-scale flow measurement, such as household water use. The velocity area method calculates flow based on the velocity of water flow and the cross-sectional area of the pipeline. Firstly, the water flow velocity at a certain point in the pipeline needs to be measured, and then combined with the diameter or cross-sectional area of the pipeline, the

water flow rate can be calculated. This method is particularly commonly used in open channel flow measurement. In some cases, the liquid level gauge method can also be used to calculate flow by measuring the liquid level change of the water storage equipment. By combining the data of device size and liquid level changes, flow rate data can be indirectly obtained. This method is suitable for relatively stable flow systems, such as reservoir discharge in hydraulic engineering. Regardless of the method used in Zen meditation, other factors such as water temperature and pressure need to be considered, as these factors may affect the accuracy of flow rate. For accurate requirements, it is recommended to consult a professional flow measurement engineer or consult relevant industry standards for more accurate methods and recommendations. Meanwhile, the selection of suitable flow meters and methods needs to be based on specific application scenarios and requirements.

3. Measurement principle of radar flowmeter

The measurement principle of radar flowmeter is mainly based on the velocity area method, combined with Doppler radar speed measurement and radar water level measurement technology, to obtain water flow parameters and calculate flow rate through non-contact method.

. The following are the specific principles and key steps.

1. Core formula: Velocity area method. The radar flowmeter measures the flow velocity (V) and flow area (S), and calculates the instantaneous flow rate (Q) using the formula Q=V × S. Among them, the flow rock velocity (V) is obtained by detecting the surface velocity of the water flow through Doppler radar.

. Overflow area (S): obtained from the shape data of the channel cross-
